Heraklion Attica's Smart City Platform
The project is part of the Municipality’s digital transformation strategy and aims to create a modern, sustainable, and resilient urban environment where technology serves both citizens and municipal operations. By leveraging innovative solutions, IoT sensors, and integrated information systems, the Municipality seeks to improve energy efficiency, enhance environmental monitoring, promote local entrepreneurship, and ensure the effective management of critical natural phenomena. The project’s actions combine green growth with digital innovation, laying the foundation for a true “smart city” that offers improved services, greater safety, and a better quality of life for all.
Smart Energy Management Systems for Municipal and School Buildings
This action involves the installation of real-time monitoring and management systems for energy consumption. Through a network of sensors and a central platform, data on electricity, heating, and cooling consumption are collected and analyzed, enabling the optimization of building energy performance. The system allows automatic control of equipment (lighting, air conditioning, heating) and sends alerts in cases of malfunction or overconsumption, contributing to the reduction of the municipality’s carbon footprint and operating costs.
Smart City Guide with Local Business Directory
This component provides a comprehensive digital platform that aggregates and presents information about local businesses, points of interest, services, and cultural events within the Municipality. Citizens and visitors can search for businesses by category, location, or service type through an interactive map with navigation features. The system supports local economic growth, enhances tourism visibility, and serves as a promotional tool for the area’s businesses.
Smart Air Quality Monitoring Systems Across the Municipality
This action includes the installation of air quality monitoring sensors at key locations throughout the city. The monitoring stations collect data on pollutants such as PM2.5, PM10, CO₂, NO₂, and O₃, transmitting information in real time to a central platform. Through a web and mobile application, citizens can stay informed about the air quality in their neighborhood, while municipal authorities gain valuable insights to guide environmental policy-making and sustainable mobility initiatives.
Smart Warning System for Natural Disaster Management
This subsystem focuses on strengthening civil protection by providing early warnings and response mechanisms for floods, fires, earthquakes, and other natural hazards. Using a network of sensors and connected meteorological stations, data are collected and analyzed in real time. The platform automatically issues alerts to relevant authorities and the public, facilitating the coordination of prevention and emergency response actions.
Overall, the project integrates technology into the Municipality’s daily operations, enhances data-driven decision-making, and establishes the conditions for a more resilient, green, and digitally advanced city.
